Dear Editor,
Which City Council was Minister Whittaker referring to when he cast blame for the flooding of the city and environs? The one he and Sooba runs or the legal City Council?
The Government has to govern a country not run it into the ground by wasting money and time in efforts to denigrate stakeholders who do not support them and would only support pro-development activities. These ultra cats in a strange pantry have managed to rip up every modicum of administrative decorum and have mapped a path of corruption never before witnessed or even thought about.
Whittaker and his Government have destroyed the decent structure of the system of Local Democracy. They have imposed IMCs, parallel CDCs in Amerindian Villages thereby uprooting the authority of the Village Captains and Councils. They are just not allowing the tiers to function.
So often we hear about how the country is developing. The yardstick used is the many incongruous looking buildings going up around the city and to the sensible eye this is just ‘the Emperor’s new clothes’.
If Minister Whittaker wants to say a mouthful on the recent flooding and its disastrous aftermath, then it should be ‘Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa’. Incidentally, this is not the first flooding disaster that this Minister has presided over. Check the flooding in the Barabina community in the North West District.
